This $60 an hour number has always perplexed me. When I cut grass for my father 15 years ago this was his target number. He had 2 beat up old toro walk behinds and a junky pick up truck.
I have nice new trucks, riders, standers.....insurance and taxes that he never had. And people are still aiming for $60 an hour.

I was not doing this 15 years ago.

People that were left this business because the influx of illegals, bad economy, to just name two things, has only caused the price structure to not grow much. And in some areas to drop.
